But you have to copy and paste a few terminal commands to get codecs from RPM Fusion! It's literally unusable compared to Windows!

>>108325930You don't need to customize everything, but you can, if you want. It's up to you.
Fedora is broadly a good distro, modulo the codec patent autism and an abnormally high number of packaging bugs for how supposedly close to the upstream they like to market themselves. There are bugs in their noto fonts with open bug reports including spoonfed fix patches rotting for years and they have firewalld configured by default such that wireguard is simply completely non functional if you happen to have a working ipv6 address. However, if Windows were to somehow become non functional tomorrow, it's probably what I would use. My question to you is, what were you doing wrong on Windows to not have time to go out with friends to a movie?
this distro glows in the dark

Fedora is nice, it's quite stable and user friendly while being relatively up to date (waiting 6 months for big updates is no problem for me). After trying out a bunch of stuff Fedora is the one I stayed on.Recently I was trying out CachyOS for a while but got tired of the level of micro management where I would install something and then spend the next hour figuring out all the configs I needed to create and extra packages I needed to install to make it work whereas on Fedora it worked immediately so I came back.>>108326017I actually preferred Debian to Fedora because generally I don't need everything to be super up to date and it's nice to be on a SUPER stable OS you can get comfy on that stays the same for a long time instead of updates changing things up but unfortunately I have an Nvidia card and it was all sorts of annoying there because they use old drivers and installing the new drivers from Nvidia instead of Debian repo resulted in problems (as they warn).>>108326353It is not corpo owned, they are just supporting Fedora development because it's upstream for RHEL. They can't dictate what changes the OS receives, they are just one voice of the community. For example they suggested optional telemetry and everyone else said no and that was that.>>108326428If this actually happens in a way that collects any sort of data from me instead of just being a checkbox I will move distros but until then I'm staying. And yes, there will always be distros that don't require you to do that since California, US or even the whole western world is not the only place to release distros.

>>108326491Works of my machine, faggot. Maybe you should stick with windows where you belong
>>108326017I did this, I just didn't care about tinkering with Fedora as much, Debian is the only true just works distro. Plug it in, install the NVIDIA drivers or whatever you may need, and that's it.Fedora was my first linux distro, and still to this date the one I used more, but personally I would rather just use Debian.
>>108325930Fedora = Fed Aura = glow os
>>108326514You do 0 real work, of course it works for you
>>108326444Retard, show me proofs of Fedora glowing
>>108326402KDE is unstable and lacks useful features like accounts integrity
>>108326451Google is the largest peering network on the planet and provides DNS and DoH and DoT for free and I believe will not resolve domains that would be blocked by SafeBrowsing, why wouldn't they be a good default config?
>>108325960>0 actual proofsTouch some grass, tranime fanboy
>>108325957I find posts like this funny because you had to install a codecs pack to play media on windows for the longest time. I suppose it isn't a thing anymore.>>108326017I don't see the point other than having more time before you gotta upgrade to the next point release, to be honest. Go for it if you feel like it's gonna change anything
>>108326784It's still kind of a thing. Insofar as it's not it's only because everyone and their grandma knows to use VLC now (actually VLC sucks but I digress). You still need to download codecs for them to work in the native photo/video players and get thumbnails. For AV1, HEIF, HEVC, JXL, mpeg-2, webp, vp8, vp9, and raw.
Fedora will be kill soon as daddy RH tells them to cooperate with the AV laws.
>>108325930I always saw it as a corporate cuck distro, but it's as free as anything else and is just much more stable and polished than debian and arch (+derivatives). Fedora silverblue/atomic is even better for newbies and stability in general. It really is the best way to experience GNU/Linux for most people right now and it's not even close.
>>108325930>Why do you autists have to complicate everything?
People actually willingly use Jeetdora?
>>108326444>Meme distro from the 00's that no-one usesRetard
>>108325930Cool. Personally I prefer using Aurora or Ultramarine, since those take the extra steps out of the way for me.But yes, Fedora is goated fr fr.
>>108326017>>108326522Oh shit bros, you're making me actually want to try Debian. I've always used LMDE or Ubuntu (and forks) for Debian. But I'm actually tired of all these distros just adding bloat and fucking things up.
>>108326449>where I would install something and then spend the next hour figuring out all the configs I needed to create and extra packages I needed to install to make it workPlease explainI have never once needed to do this in my 8+ years of Arch use, the dependency management is practically automated
>>108325930>Why should I waste time configuring the systemif you don't feel like there's no need for it, then just don't. see, how simple is this? you shouldn't be bothered by something that doesn't affect you.
>>108326017>My hardware is old as fuck and I don't care about latest versions of software.one of the most tech illiterate things I've read today
>>108326813>>108326784It's incredible the average /g/ users don't know WHY codecs are not installed ootb.Legally, they can't. They're US based operating systems backed by a US legal entity. Microsoft, Red Hat, Apple, can't give licensed codecs they don't own. So users have to install them. Microsoft and some linux distros offer a package to install them for a fee, otherwise you get them from another package/installer.
>>108327326People keeps saying this since the 00's and it keeps growing. And most stuff released by the Fedora project gets adopted by the rest of distros.>>108327477The kernel is also a corporate cuck project.>>108327675Serious users do use a serious distro.>>108329085Just write a script or make a custom ISO.
>>108329227>one of the most tech illiterate things I've read todayHow exactly? It's a literal fact (my hardware is from 2009-2012) and an opinion (I don't care about using the latest packages). How does tech literacy even come into it?
>>108325930>reinstall twice a year
>>108329249>Jeetdora>Serious lol LMAO LMFAO ROFLMAO ROFLMFAO
>>108325957But Windows has to open a command line to create a local account, so it goes both ways.
>>108329646Are you retarded? It literally supports upgrading to the next release
>>108325930I like their approach to open source while being law abiding, there should be a non law abiding Fedora.
>Why do you autists have to complicate everything?>It feels good.
>>108325930>some people use software I don't understand and that makes me insecure, let's label them with mental ilness and pretend to know jack about said softwareniggercattle posting
>>108331260So any of the Fedora-based forks which include all of the proprietary stuff ootb?
DNF does all I need. PackageKit, GNOME Software & Flatpak is unnecessary bloat.Fedora changes too often for my liking, so I use RHEL instead.I like ZFS, so I use it wherever I can and ZFSBootMenu is my bootloader.Those are pretty much my only "autistic complications".
>>108331567yeah, it's garooda or noobara or some shit. i always thought that needing a whole derivative pajeet distro just to avoid doing something that takes 5 minutes is a bit retarded
>>108325930Fedora is great, I switched from Windows 2 years ago and never looked back. Tried a few more distros but I settled for Fedora in the end
>>108331622I've always felt like introducing a middle man for convenience is bound to backfire.
>>108331646>Tried a few more distros but I settled for Fedora in the endcheers. a man has to know his intellectual limitations.
>>108325930Fedora with KDE is literally perfect for me.
>>108331667even if it doesn't backfire, it just seems a bit pointless to begin with. installing drivers/codecs on Fedora is not exactly some kind of herculean task that justifies the existence of spinoff distros, imo.
>>108325930gnome is trashfedora-kde is the only viable option
>>108325930I'd never properly made the switch to desktop linux until I tried Fedora KDE. It's worlds ahead of everything else.Coming up on a year of using it.
i ropped on to FEDora and ended up stuck there most of the last year, if yo ignore the slow packager manager, the babysitting, the short realese circle and FedHat its alright.
>>108331567If you're thinking of something like Nobara, that's a bad idea and will cause more issues in the long run. Something like Aurora/Bazzite might suit you though.
>>108329156Why would you intentionally use outdated software?Personally I like being on something semi-recent when I play the occasional game.
>>108332832>Run your set up>Everything works perfectly fine>NOOOO I HAVE TO HAVE THE LATEST UPDATE>install update >Everything is now broken
>>108332850>typical Debian Stale userOh no a security update! My day is ruined.

>>108331674>distrohopping is a sign of intelligence
>>108332883>>108332895News flash, Buckaroos... Debian is the ONLY non-retard distro out there
>>108332922>active curiosity>experimenting>learning Yes, faggot, distrohopping is a good example of having some sort of intelligence (and also autism).
>>108332832I don't know, sounds comfy tho. I get it's for older hardware that doesn't need the latest drivers and stuff. But having a calm enviroment that works for a long time without changing seems like a good experience.
>>108333164That what LTS releases are for, then they get patches or backports. The environment is meant to stay the same.RHEL, openSUSE, Ubuntu, and all their derivatives with 5-10 year support. Debian is one of the worse in terms of being patched, not saying it is unsecure as it is, but it is under a security team crisis, very few people seems interested on actively patch Debian CVEs. Canonical does but no as often.
>>108333152The fact that you didn't immediately notice distros are 98% similar thus it's meaningless to switch them unless you have a really good reason(security policy, package handling, update policy, etc) is the sign of being a brainlet, anon.
>>108333254its not like updoots dont introduce CVEs as well. all the patches keep arriving, community is strong, canonical is there too and deb is solid.
